Yesterday’s USA Today stated than one of the things Americans can be thankful for is that it still only costs, on average, $49.85 to feed 10 people at Thanksgiving. Seriously??? I guess they’re all eating chitterlings.
Ahhhh … nice …. looks like USA Today picked up their info from Farm Bureau.
There’s just two of us celebrating today. Yesterday we went to the store. I bought 2 pounds of loin turkey breast …. cuz the breast is the only meat I like … that alone was just under ten bucks. By the time I got fresh cranberries, pumpkin pie, yams, and other accoutrements to make the dinner, our bill was right around $58. Yes, we’ll have leftovers. But, there’s no fucken way TEN people can be fed.
We were sitting in the Hyundai Dealership (regular maintenance) when I read that, and I turned to Ms Freud to show her. She laughed. And I said to her what a motherfucking shame it is when newspapers even lie about basic shit like how much it costs to feed a family. That’s why I’m pretty much giving up on reading news. Fuck ’em all to hell.

We’re eating with the in-laws. So, we’re having the traditional stuff: Turkey, ham, green bean casserole, etc. I like ham ok, but I don’t care that much for turkey, and I think the traditional foods are over-rated.
The best Thanksgiving dinner we ever had was when we lived in Corpus Christi, TX. We had oysters, fresh fish, sopa de mariscos, flan, and some other non-traditional but delicious local traditions.
Ah, well. No worries. It’s all about being with family. Maybe the sister and the mom will start bickering. That’ll be good for a few laughs.

Exclusive in D.C.
Cheese pizza, hotdogs, clams and walnuts. All served on a black and white handkerchief.
I’d rather have the Chitterlings.

BTW, Stucky
What about natural casing? What’s the difference?
Personally I wouldn’t eat chitterlings either (though they have been served to me), but I do love bratwurst.
So one gram of…say….baby batter would be an ok addition but two grams is gross right? 🙂

Deep-frying another onion-stuffed, Cajun-style possum, or two, this year, and the nephew is bringing his wife’s famous pickled mountain oysters, again. Happy T-Day to all…..
BTW, I know what mountain oysters are, and those are quite delicious.

Statista forgot tamales. More popular than sauerkraut or chitterlings I’m certain.

This will be one of, if not the first year we’ve had turkey for Thanksgiving in 28 years of marriage. Every year we do something different. I just finished making a Three Cities of Spain Cheesecake and my strawberry sherbert made with brandy is churning in the ice cream freezer right now.
We’re doing Thanksgiving tomorrow. One of those special snowflake millennials my wife works with that is always bitching about not getting enough hours at work didn’t show up this morning and the two on call snowflakes wouldn’t answer their phones so my wife was happy to pick up a shift of holiday double time pay. I’m finally getting around to modifying my in-laws antique bed from a double into a queen size today so me and the dogs will be goofing off in the shop.
Chitterlings? Pig intestines? Really?? Fucken gross …

More lies from the MSM and government.

Casings weigh about 1 gram.
So one gram of…say….baby batter would be an ok addition but two grams is gross right? 🙂

Possum? Seriously?? That’s disgusting!!!
